Well suppose you are not a "Strol- ler." I am wh^t you might call a mighty poor "Stroller." The feet are bad and the legs are worse, so I take mine out in rid- ing. So with all due apologies to Odd this is "Thoughts While Flying." Away here a week or so back I went out to the flying field at midnight in Los An- geles to catch the plane for Seattle.

PICKARD Western Newspaper Union. Senator Guffy Legislative action in both house and senate was fast and furious during the closing days of the session. White House pressure was freely used; fil- ibusters were start- ed and stopped; senators and repre- sentatives, hot and bothered, were in- clined to be quar- relsome. But con- gress had its or- ders and it wanted to go home, so the administration pro- gram in general was pushed through. One of the most controversial measures on that pro- gram, the Guffey coal bill, had been driven through the house by orders from above and threats of a strike, and when it was taken up by the senate every effort ...

Dozens of ex- periments have been tried out since President Roosevelt came into of- fice and almost as many have run their course and have been aban- doned, Many of them were tried out with high enthusiasm but the enthusiasm died long before the recently created agencies them- selves went out of existence. Such was not the case, however, in the instance to which I refer because the simple announcement by the AAA resulted in the addition of 5,200,000 acres to the wheat plant- ing area of .the United States for the 1936 crop. Not alone did this announcement represent a change in ...

The others of Heeseman's outfit took alarm, dodged here and there to hide, or ran back. Jim hauled Bay to a halt, and soon the pack horses galloped by, every pack riding well. Lincoln dashed into sight first, closely fol- lowed by Mac, Happy Jack and Jeff, all with guns smoking. And lastly came Slocum, hatless, blood on his face. "Jest barked," panted Slocum. "Load yer guns—an' ride on!" Around the next turn they came upon Mays and his two riders. With another big intersecting canyon on the right, it looked as if their pur- suers were held up.

Your Deposits in This Bank NOW PERMANENTLY INSURED The new Banking Act of 1 935, giving permanence to Federal Deposit Insur- ance, has just been passed by Congress and signed by President Roosevelt.

PAGE TWO THE MERIDIAN TRIBUNE Friday, September 6,1935 National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Press Building' Washington, D. C. Washington.—Politics being insep- arable from governmental admin- . istration under Build Campaign our system, it Battle Lines becomes perti- nent at this time to examine what has happened in the late session of congress. In a nation where a two-party political structure obtains, politics cannot be segregated from the administration in the larger sense. It is not with a critical attitude, therefore, that the magnifying glass is held over the doings of President Roosevelt, his cabinet and brain trust ad- visers and the congress that has lately adjourned. I believe it will be agreed that politics has predominated in the management of our national affairs during the last eight months espe- cially. The fervor and appeal that was held for recovery by all of us during the earlier days of the Roosevelt administi'ation seems to have been largely d...

Friday, September 6,1935 THE MERIDIAN TRIBUNE PAGE THREE "Love Apple" Ranks First as Vegetable Canning Crop Once called the "love apple," and grown mainly as an ornamental plant, the tomato now ranks first in the "United States as a vegetable can- ning crop. As a vegetable crop it is led only by potatoes and sweet po- tatoes. When introduced injo the Dnited States from the American tropics about 1800, the tomato was thougl^ to be poisonous because it is related to the nightshade plant. Other non- poisonous members of the night- shade family are the eggplant, po- tato, and peppers. About the middle of the last cen- tury canned tomatoes became an ar- ticle of trade. The value of the an- nual crop is now estimated at more than $50,000,000, of which approxi- mately $20,000,000 is spent for to- matoes by canners and manufactur- ers. Besides being canned, tomatoes are manufactured into soups, purees, catsups, and tomato juice. From 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 tons are grown annually for commer...
